How to Install

First, download the Byzscribe zip file. Or, if you are a programmer, clone the repository.

Extract the files from the zip file. This varies per operating system, but you should be able to double-click the zip file and then drag its contents into another folder, such as your desktop or applications folder. Don't try to run Byzscribe from the zipfile itself, though!

Open up the fonts folder.

• If you are on a Windows computer, open the win folder and install the fonts that are in it. You can double-click on each font and then choose Install.
• If you are on a Mac, open the macandlinux folder and install the fonts that are in it by double-clicking on each one and choosing install.
• If you are using Linux, open the macandlinux folder and install the fonts that are in it. The method for installing fonts varies per distribution, but in Unity, Gnome, and KDE, double-clicking each font should launch a viewer/installer program. Note: If you are installing fonts under Ubuntu 12.10, you must manually copy the files into /usr/share/fonts/truetype (there is a bug causing the font viewer to crash with these fonts) and then run fc-cache -r

Please note that the fonts do not fall under the LGPL license; for more information see the readme in the font folder. If you have no intention of modifying the font files themselves, then don't worry about this.

Download Racket and install it. Note: for Ubuntu 12.10, do not use apt-get to retrieve the package, as there is a problem with the build.

Once Racket has been installed, go ahead an run it. Once Racket has loaded, select the File menu, then Open, and open scribe_demo.rkt You're now ready to use Byzscribe!
